    Opposing fans revered him.

    Stubborn is a decent description. I prefer to call him what I call plenty of folks these days:

    very smart idiots. They don't know what they don't know. But they are smart in certain parts and they can't be educated. It is what it is. Just...get him the H__L off the damn TV!

    I'm not blinded by anything. It's not just the pros who don't think much of him. Don't let his years with Urban blind you.

    They reviled him. I referring to Gators fans, and they still revere him.

    Honest question. If he offered to come be OC right now under Napier, would you be happy with that?

    I very much agree with you! Dan was a very good playcaller, but he wasn't motivated enough to recruit. I'm very thankful for coach Billy Napier. I do wish he would develop an attitude for hanging half-a-hundred or more on his opponents!

    I guess we part ways here. Let's agree to disagree.

    The problem is that he still won’t recruit. That dog won’t hunt in Napier’s organization.

    6 pages and not 1 post about how the unreasonable fan base didn't give Mullen enough time, interesting.

    So, the 1000's of posts about how the fans don't give any coach enough time are bunk? Well gee wizz who woulda thunk it.

    In year four if the program is going down the tubes, that’s enough. If it’s gettin better, need to wait and see where it’s going.

    Never overestimate the mental capacity of a fanbase. The best flavor is always the flavor of the day.
